Found it somewhat annoying last night that early on, Collinsworth said something to the affect of, "There's plenty we could talk about with off-the-field situations for Ezekiel Elliott, but forgive us if we just talk about on-the-field tonight.
Then zero words were spoken - at all - about the biggest story for the NFL leading up to opening Sunday.
Really pissed me off, especially after in the depositions the baby momma allegedly was pregnant with his twins, and after he smacked her, one was miscarried, and later, the story allegedly goes, the second child was aborted due to complications.
So not only is that fuckbag allowed to play, but there's a fucking gag rule on talking about any of it?
Every time that piece of shit "fed himself" after a first down, I wanted to break a baseball across one of his knees. Yes ... really.
I mean, Jesus Christ, just how much power does Jerry Jones wield?
I suppose I wasn't expecting any different. Seems to be so much horse shit with the NFL and situations like this one. So much inconsistency.
And I really don't know what I'd have preferred Collinsworth and Michaels to have said. But at least something ... at least a quick overview of what a scumbag Elliott is, and how much of a sham the commissioner's office truly is.
Pissed me off.

That said, where did you see this?
He is beyond awful. Last year he carried on about "Deflate Gate" game after game like it was the crime of the century and acts as if Elliott is Mother Theresa. He is horrific.
And Collinsworth is one of the best announcers there are.
Is everybody just mad at everything after last night?
what more would you like to hear about the case, especially during the broadcast?

AGREED
i think everyone is just in their feelings right now.
personally, i didnt want to hear...."and the giants go 3 and out yet again, brandon marshall is a non factor and elliot hit a woman, maybe"
Article 46 does not give the Commissioner authority to deprive an employee of their constitutional rights. Goody will counter-claim in NYC. Kessler is now in charge of the union's legal team. He and Elliott's attorneys will prevail .
The broadcasts have become clogged with unimportant off-field garbage designed to rope in the non-fan. I don't need a piece with Tony Dungy asking Dak Prescott about his fucking mom.
Talk about the game being played.

Um he wasn't denied any "Constitutional" rights. This is beyond moronic and parroted for some unknown reason.
The NFL is a private entity which collectively bargained with the NFLPA. That is the way contract law works. Elliot can choose. Or to play for the NFL. More importantly it is explicit In that agreement that the commissioner was given total authority to dole out suspensions.
It was a bargained contract. Why the fuck do people talk about contract law then ignore it when it doesn't fit their "opinion of fair".
This was also decided last year in the Brady case.
I am surprised that no one on the defense took a shot at Elliot
I think Collinsworth jizzed his pants each time Zeke made a jump cut.
There is absolutely no evidence that I've seen of what you're suggesting - that she miscarried because she was smacked and then had to have an abortion.
One of the fetuses wasn't viable, the other was a voluntary abortion on her part. He didn't want the baby. She did at first, then changed her mind. There was no medical reason to abort - reports to the contrary are a lie to make him look bad.
I have a problem with making things up - it's not necessary. There are enough true elements of this story that make him look bad - we shouldn't stoop to untruths just to make it look worse than it really was.
Just because there is an elephant in the room does not mean you have to talk about it at all times.
It's a pretty serious accusation to just throw out there
like NBA, where it became a "fishy" sport as to fixes, etc, and got me off of that sport about 20 years ago, the NFL has about put me in same position as to say eff this league and sport as it's becoming.
Maybe they could have pivoted into NYG's employment of Josh Brown, too.
Meanwhile the Giants running backs were busy trying to make Coach Mc look prescient about backs not being able to run without room.
And I would say he hardly punished the Giant D. He wouldn't have had half the carries he did if the Offense showed up at all. Defense played very well against him, I thought - yeah, later in the game, his YPC went up - no shocker, but not a single big-gainer from the leagues rushing leader last season.
BTW - when Harrison was replaced at times, NOTABLE difference.

considering how much they harp on other inconsequential stuff (e.g. boat party).
This is exactly what I am saying...

I mentioned above, Clay Travis mentioned it at some point early to mid-last week. I believe he referenced some of the sworn testimony. I also believe he said he had read it in the sworn testimony.
I id not see/read it myself.
I haven't seen it or heard it anywhere else, and I've been surprised.
Travis does not seem like the kind of sports talk host to embellish. He's pretty brutally straight-ahead.
POS got let off the hook .
I felt the same way with the feed me BS he now has it in his mind that he is untouchable ..
